Transit Vote Surrey: Rapid Transit for Rapid Growth

Surrey is one of Canada's fastest growing cities and has major transportation needs. With the transit referendum around the corner, what's at stake?

Surrey is expected to nearly double its population and number of jobs between 2006 and 2041. However, as a city on the rise, it's already beginning to feel the growing pains of congestion and a strained transit network. The proposed transportation improvements for Surrey include a new light rail transit system through to the Langleys as well as improved bus service. The purpose of this dialogue is to explore the transit referendum through the lens of Surrey's business and student community. Join us at SFU Surrey Campus for this public dialogue co-presented by Carbon Talks and Moving in a Livable Region. We would also like to acknowledge the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions for their support.

A congested transportation system has consequences for emissions, health, and livability. Join us to hear from experts on how these subjects relate to the transit referendum.

Metro Vancouver's road network and transit system are currently strained and regional growth will ensure that this trend continues into the future. But what are the economic and health costs of congestion? Join us at SFU Burnaby to hear from two experts as they describe the current situation as well as what to expect in the future. With the transit referendum on the line, a number of potential transportation improvements could help to alleviate stress on the road network as well as offer more sustainable commuting options for residents. Find out what these transit options have to offer. This public dialogue is co-presented by Carbon Talks and Moving in a Livable Region.
